Cannot connect to mapped drives after a Server 2000 to Server 2008 R2 Migration.


hi everyone.

i did server 2000 migration server 2008 r2. here steps followed migration.

  • health checks on 2000 dc , 2008 dc
  • joined new windows 2008 r2 server domain member server
  • prepared active directory windows 2008 r2 server
  • made windows 2008 r2 server dc of existing domain
  • installed dns service
  • transferred 5 flexible single masters operation roles
  • removed old 2000 server global catalog server

everything seemed fine, when take old 2000 server offline, users can log in, cannot connect network drives. following error:

"h:\ not accessible. system detected possible attempt compromise security. please ensure can contact server authenticated you."

i have feeling logging onto cached profiles, instead of new domain when old domain offline. did maybe screw dns settings?

any greately appreciated!

thanks,
werner

okay! think solved issue! 

i had "jrnl_wrap_error" on old dc under frs event log. 

i fixed frs errors, 2 servers seems replicating now, when ran "echo %logonserver%" command on workstation, reported it's still logging onto old domain. here's gets interesting. 

i stopped netlogon service on old dc, , rebooted workstation. when workstation logged on , ran command again, logged onto new dc. never done before, did right... i'm happy that. 

i'm not sure why, mean, new dc operations master of 5 fsmo roles, surely workstations should log onto new dc default? 

i'm going run couple of more tests, , if i'm satisfied results i'll decommission old server , pray machines log onto new server lol.
